Ingredients

500 g peeled ripe bananas
300 g wheat flour
120 g sugar
150 g shelled egg
100 g neutral oil
100 ml semi-skimmed milk
12 g baking powder

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 175 °C and line a loaf pan large enough to allow the batter to rise.

Mash the bananas. Mix them with the eggs, sugar, oil, and milk.

Mix flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, then incorporate into the wet ingredients without overmixing.

Pour into the pan and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. Check for raw batter in the center with a knife blade.

Let cool slightly before unmolding, then cool completely to cut into 12 regular slices.
